Guaranteed Number of Rooms

This page explains how to use virtual rooms to send a guaranteed number of rooms to a channel

Example:

A property has three double rooms which are sold on their own website and two booking channels. Channel A has a guaranteed allotment of one room.

Create a virtual room

• Create the virtual room by making a copy of the real room at the SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS menu.
• Set the "Quantity of This Type" = 2 in the SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS-> SETUP menu.
• In the SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES set "Assign a Copy Booking to " = Virtual room
• Go to SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER and map this room to all channels except for channel A.

Real room

• Set the "Quantity of This Type" = 3 in the SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS-> SETUP menu.
• Set "Sell Priority" to "Hide Room" to not display the room on your booking page.
• In the SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES set "Requires Availability" = Virtual room
• Go to SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER and map this room to channel A. Make sure the room is not enabled for any other channels.
